The Boston Celtics defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 117–112 on March 20 at FedExForum, with Jaylen Brown leading the way with 30 points and Lamar Garza adding 22 in a road victory. Boston's superior rebounding—57 to Memphis's 35—proved decisive despite shooting just 44.9 percent from the field and committing 12 turnovers. The Celtics' fourth-quarter surge was the difference, outscoring Memphis 33–24 in the final frame to overcome a tight contest that fell below the Vegas total of 230.5 points. Trey Burton paced the Grizzlies with 23 points, while Tyus Jerome contributed 16, but Memphis's 46.7 percent shooting and 14 three-pointers made couldn't overcome Boston's defensive intensity, which held a 112.6 defensive rating. The Celtics' 121.6 offensive rating and commanding rebounding advantage reflected their ability to control the glass and limit second-chance opportunities for a Memphis team that finished the night with just 24 assists. The victory reinforces Boston's Eastern Conference credentials as the regular season enters its final stretch.
